Josemi happy to stay and play as centreback

As Rafa confirmed yesterday Josemi will be given the chance to succeed at Liverpool. Josemi has stated he will do his best to take advantage of the opportunity:

"I had difficulties in my first season here but I feel things are going to get better," he said. "I'm very happy, not only at the football club, but away from the game. My wife is expecting a baby and we feel more settled in the area. I feel there is a lot for me to look forward to and be positive about this year. "It's not always easy when you come to a new country and it can take time to get used to it. When you are settled, the football becomes more enjoyable. "Little by little things are starting to improve. It also helps me to be part of a good team and to be working with a manager and coaches who have always been good to me and always wanted to help when I've had difficulties. They are happy with me and have always told me they believe in me, which gives me confidence." He added: "A lot of people spoke about me returning to Spain in the summer, but for me that was never an intention. I wanted to remain here and show I could be an important player for Liverpool. "My biggest hope for the season is to ensure I don't get any injuries because I feel this caused most difficulties for me last season. Until I was injured I thought things were going well. "If I'm used as a centre back more, I'll be happy. I love tackling and this is where I'm strongest. "In my last season at Malaga I played centre back, not right back so it's not a problem position for me. In fact, it's a position I enjoy very much."

He may well be playing in central defence more often if Rafa doesn't get his act together in the transfer market. Please comment.
